Oh Thom is totally supportive. He's my biggest fan. I couldn't have done the rides I've done this year without his encouragement. That's what makes his snarky humor so amusing.

Hee hee. Lego-Last. Kinda funny, but kinda hurty, huh?
They're just good at shooting straight, when we women sometimes need a little soft cushioning of the words. I mostly appreicate their straightforwardness and truth (although sometimes DH can be a bit too truthful
).
Can you imagine how weird it would be to hear man conversations that were encouraging and cushy?
man 1: "Man I should've hit that homerun."
man 2:"Oh, it's ok, you did your best and that's what counts. You're a good ball player, and you'll hit one next time."
man 1: "Thanks, you're the best friend a guy could have"
man 2: "It's only because you make me the best"
Weird....

boy, TriGirl, you pegged it. It's not quite 7am here and i was reading your little dialog thinking, men would never say this... then I reread and realized THAT WAS YOUR POINT. Originally Posted by Tri Girl

This thread is cracking me up.
I still need a name for my manbike. DH's response was "coffin nail #1)-as in my hobby is killing him. It was a tongue and cheek answer, as he is the one who go my started. If it had not been for him, I would still to this day be afraid of bikes.Jennifer

coffin nail is also a name for Cigarettes. I think you need a nicer name than that! something that evokes the feeling you have riding.

I agree. The first thing I think of when I am on my bike is freedom...maybe a name that has something to do with freedom? I swear it was easier to name my children!
